Anna vs The Lotus-Eaters

Whoo!! I havent seen her THIS riled up ... Apparently she doesnt take kindly to folk pissing..*cough*.. on her beloved New York.

Among the choicer eloquent, impassioned bon mots:

..when people start dissing my beloved NYC without knowing WHAT THE FUCK they're talking about..

..anyone who's ever even set foot on any borough of New York would attest to the fact that it's dirty. From the streets to the subways to very air you breathe, it's a gross revelation of what happens when you get too many people in a very small area...

And unless somebody's willing to start the Trash/Piss Police, it's going to stay the same way for a long time.

Makes you wonder why people would even want to come to New York right? EXACTLY. Why would people waste their lovingly earned moolah to go to a city infamous for its crime and its grime. After all, there are a lot nicer places to visit in the U.S., e.g. the Bay Area, Maine, Florida, etc, etc, blah blah...

you wanna know why people still want to come here? BECAUSE THIS IS THE FUCKING CENTER OF THE WORLD, that's why.

And I say that with the utmost confidence and assurance that I am right. And it's not just because I live here.

...Ya see that Lady with the Torch on that island? She's fucking sayin' "COME ON IN." Doesn't matter if you're a dotbomb multimillionaire or an immigrant with barely functional knowledge of English, if you've got what it takes to be a New Yorker, then that's what you are. And being a New Yorker means loving this city with the unabashed, undiscriminating acceptance that it has accepted you.

And anyone who thinks that New York is the Pissbucket of the World is a *#^%...

We will now turn down the volume so as to not to hurt the feelings of my dear Cali folk *cough*lotuseaters*.....

Hee hee. :-)

ALL Im gonna say to that is what I say all the time.

Take a deep breath in New York at your own risk.

Brian da man.

Here he is taking the time to proudly model an Itinerant t-shirt. OO-rah. :-)



THANK you B and everyone else who has picked up an item from The Itinerant Store..

Suggestions as to what would be other cool Itinerant things are always welcome.

And remember B, being Itinerant is a state of mind, not a state of being. :-)

Or mebbe its the other way around.
